<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Wordstar 3.3, I think, running under DOS 3.3 on my
Kaypro back in 1986. The whole thing, including spell checker on two 5 1/4
floppies - fantastic. Word Perfect I have less than favourable memories of. My
wife used the educational version for her assignments while at uni. At one stage
managed to save a completely blank file over her previously completed
assignment. I remember spending a whole weekend with PCTools finding and
reassembling her docs from the floppy. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>...and memorising the dozens of ALT/CTRL/Fn key shortcuts... not
much better than Wordstar in that respect!

<P class=MsoNormal>Hmm, it would be interesting to see if anybody can get
Napser working again, curious about where it left off and it stimulated some
good discussions amongst the students last month about copyright and
marketshare. Perhaps in a VM it could work .. <U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
